In the dark with the Oakland skyline

As I cross the city I avoid the landmines

All I wanna do is make it through without dyin'

All I wanna do is keep on tryin'

Another night in the streets for me

Another night no sanctuary

Another night come and watch me bleed

Another night in the streets for me

She wouldn't move until the coast was clear

She always knew the final battle was near

If you got a bag of dope she'll give it up for free

If you got a song of hope it will help her see

Another night in the streets for me

Another night no sanctuary

Another night come and watch me bleed

Another night in the streets for me

In the dark lookin' up at the skyline...
